That is one clean V! May I ask what methods you used to restore the plastic bumpers/moldings? Mine are fading and would like to get them looking new again.

Here is what I used for the bumpers. I removed them and just cleaned them before I sprayed them down.

Looks good. Is it fully dropped, or do you still have some room to play with? How's the ride quality? I had yonakas on my del sol and it was pretty good. Any mods needed?

I could slam it all the way where the tires tuck in so it drops! No mods needed and rides great! U need to grind upper control arms a bit but that applies to any drop u do, needed for any Crv drop so they won't get stuck

Sick bro. I bout a V about a month ago for the "family car". Lol mostly for my wife and son, but I've always wanted to do up a crv. I think I might go with yonakas as well when the time is right. Always heard of the grinding for uca, but never really read up on it.

Looks good. The grinding of the uca doesnt always work you might also have to get in there and cut the metal that the uca always gets stuck on.

There for a Crv got them at amazon. You grind right on the tip of the arm in front of the balljoint

Even though it looks low, the crv is still high enough for everyday driving.
Edit: I just might go find me a 01 crv and have me some fun.

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
I'm a little upset. The yonakas went up about $150 on Amazon and are not to be found on ebay anymore -_- she looks good though. Was the wiring for the s2k side markers the same for installing ek side markers? Really want the s2k ones.

Did you take the bumpers and plastic trim off when you painted them? Nice job.

Well I started with them on the car but was getting overspray on my body so yes I removed them which makes it easier
